I was beginning to think I was the only one here! Doing great on this end. I have really had no issues or complications. I went through the "three week stall" and came out unscathed. Steadily dropping, with no hunger and no food issues.

I'm glad you are excited, you're like 9 days away! Anxious.....yup, been there too. I just wanted the surgery over so I could start this journey. This has been life changing for me, even at just shy of 2 months post-op. This site has been a Godsend, my life line to the sleeved world. I am so excied for you!

I was starting to think I was the only local here! Lol. I know, it's crazy close and I'm all over the place! So much running through my head. So glad things have gone good for you since post open. How much are you down? How long were you in hospital for? Just had endoscopy done last week, guess I have a hernia so they will be taking that out as well. Heelllllllllllooooooo neighbor!!!!!!!!!!!

Surgery was on Monday, don't remember much from that day. I was very out of it from the anethesia. Home Tuesday by 5, after walking many laps around the hospital. Pain was minimal, felt like I did 1,000 crunches - just sore! Down 70 total, 33 since surgery. It has been much easier to avoid temptation now that I have benn sleeved. Still in the "honeymoon" phase, and that is fine. Pre-sleeve I would be eating all of the cider doughnuts in the area. I really can't wait to have a salad again. One more month!

Don't hate me....but OMG did I have the most delicious cider donut yesterday! I couldn't help it..out Apple picking...the cider donut smell...had to have one...delicious...brought two home, eating it for you as we speak now :-) If your a Apple cider kinda girl, sorry I had to pass on that, was WAY to sweet for me. I've totally fallen in love with salad so that's going to kill me. What Protein Shake do you use? Tried so many and finally found the one...Premier Protein, got them at Sam's in a pack of 12 for $18.00 and their the only ones I can stand. So glad to hear your doing so well. Ever go to support groups? I go every Thursday lol

I used the Six star chocolate from Walmart, but never found vanilla I liked. I had some Medifast shakes left over from the pre-op that I boosted with Isopure unflavored. I use the unflavored in everything now. I just started adding fruit back into the diet, looking forward to some baked apples.

I think I am going to need a support group with the holidays approaching. Always a food fest everywhere I go. If they aren't eating, they are drinking! I am hoping to stay gluten free until all of the weight comes off, fingers crossed! Green with envy on the doughnuts!

I've been waiting for freaking EVER as you can see in my signature. It still feels like it will never get here. I love the chocolate and vanilla Premier Protein shakes, too. But I'm also good with the vanilla Body Fortress powder from Walmart. My insurance wants me to see the doctor one more time (Oct. 17) since it's been over a year since I saw him.

Good luck Monday, rensterness85!

Auntie Vick & Brickhouse,

I'm LOSING it! Tomorrow is the official day and my nerves are shot. No amount of Xanex seems to be able to settle the nerves. I'm VERY excited, yet VERY, VERY nervous. It's beyond real now. Tomorrow I am to arrive at Albany Medical Center at 5:45am. I'm seriously beyond anxious, excited and now very nervous. I'm so looking forward to a new amazing future, but the whole surgery part is finally hitting me. My program only requires a 24 hour clear, sugar free liquid diet, which I have now officially started. Tomorrow my friend will be coming over and she will be sleeping over and we will do final pictures and official inches of the soon to be old me. I look forward to this new life more then words can describe, but nerves are shot. Will keep my two local buddies posted. Ugh, the nerves :-(.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks
